Dog Walking in Mahoning Commons, Youngstown, OH

About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 19+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”

About: I've had dogs as long as I can remember. My last one being an English Mastiff, so no dog is too big for me! I have also rescued and fostered several dogs and I volunteered at Angel's for Animals I am Retired Army so I have plenty of availability for your needs. I'm here to help walk your dog, do checks in for any pet and house sitting. I don't like to think of your animal as a pet. I like to respect they are living creatures with their own personalities and treat them accordingly.

“She was awesome with my little guy. At first he was being a stinker and hid under the bed and barked, I told her she could go and not worry about it. Then I get a picture message of him walking outside fine. Definitely took the time and had the patience to work with Orion to build that trust. Definitely, definitely highly recommend. She is amazing!”

About: I've been taking care of my pets personally for close to 20 years. I pet sit for multiple friends while they are out of town or when they work off schedules like midnights. I work from home and do a lot of meetings. With notice, my schedule can be flexible and help a lot of different pet care needs. Safety and trust: I frequently work with children through the local PTA and I teach children how to play board games at a yearly gaming convention. Through this work, I have to pass regular background checks.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea and I have lived a life with love for all animals in my heart very fruitfully. I personally have two large breed dogs of my own, and one hamster. I’m not shy when it comes to types, ages, or sizes of animals. I am the first person my family and friends leave their animals with because they know that they will find their dogs sleeping next to me on the couch, treated like royalty and family. I work with rescue agencies as well as fostering agencies to ensure stable homes, donated needs are being met, and daily play time is available. I own a large home with a fenced in backyard. I have experience with special needs animals as well. All drop off pets MUST be okay with other dogs. No exceptions!! If you need last minute overnight care you MUST provide the crate, food, and other necessary items. I cannot host puppies without their crates in my home. Please make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccines as well as their preventative medicines! Prices have been adjusted due to rising gas prices. I’m sorry for this inconvenience and when they go back down so will my prices! 💕 I have open availability working around my sons school schedule. I’m a SAHM and work PRN as a nurse & clean Air BNB’s between pet clients. I am always able to work with your schedule! I have a massive fenced in yard with security cameras. All animals have free access to water in two places and feedings are timed scheduled (unless client otherwise states). My home is two stories and I am able to separate animals if need be.

“Cindy is very polite snd friendly. Stella Pug loved her! Cindy walked Stella and gave her treats for being good.”

I do love to connect with the animals that I have been blessed with over the years. We have had everything from a tiny hamster to a persnickety pig.

Treat all animals the way you would like your animals to be treated.
